   Never had it on.

I pasted the section that describes my Gmail account, if you just copy/paste it into your own accountrc, and just change your personail details (e-mail address and password etc..), I guess it ought to work ! 

  Checked it line for line against mine. Only differences are the personal
details such as inbox, name etc.  Weird huh. It works getting my Gmail, but the
log shows that error message everytime.
